Jane can't quite let Bingley go, so when a trip to the city puts her in his orbit she takes her one shot — she reaches out to Caroline, telling herself that if Charles knew she was there, he'd want to see her. Lizzie warns her not to, but lets her go. In the cool, sleek city that belongs to the Bingley-Darcy world, Caroline agrees to a chilly cafe meeting and delivers the brush-off as a series of polished little knives: Charles is 'so busy,' he's 'focusing on himself now,' they all think it's for the best. She never once offers to tell him Jane is in town — and leaves with an empty 'we should do this again.' Alone at the table, Jane realizes the cruelest part: Charles never even knew she was there. She comes home composed and brave, is met by her mother wailing only about the lost fortune, and finally, quietly, with Lizzie holding her hand, lets the hope go: she's done waiting. But where Jane finds peace, Lizzie finds fury. The pieces click — Caroline didn't decide this, and this was never really about Caroline. Two charges now fuse into one cold certainty as Lizzie stands guard over her sleeping sister, resolved that Darcy does not get to win.

Scene: The warm, lived-in Bennet entryway in soft morning light. Jane stands by the open front door with a small weekend bag over her shoulder and her phone held low, wearing a hopeful, determined expression. Lizzie leans in the inner doorway, arms loosely crossed, worried. Jane: 'If I am there... maybe he will want to see me.'

Scene: A wide establishing shot of a cool, sleek city of glass towers under a pale steel-blue sky. Jane stands small on the sidewalk, her warm cream-and-pink outfit a spot of warmth against the cold surroundings, her bag on her shoulder and phone held low, looking up with brave determination. Jane: 'One message. That is all.'
